We had to cancel the booking when we arrived due to problems with my wife. She is sometimes incontinent at night and as the toilet was not ensuite she could have ruined the carpet. She also has some mental problems which can cause her to talk continually for a long period, and it was agreed that we should not stay. Sergio kindly took us by car to another hotel for the night. The cancellation was partly my fault as I did not check the facilities by email before leaving home. D Wharton

Sergio is a great host. Very interesting guy and I enjoyed our conversations. The best was spending time in the garden with my morning coffee. Room is as described. Quite large with shower room attached. Comfortable bed so what more could you want. I actually extended my stay.

We had a wonderful stay with Jan at her gorgeous converted barn. Jan was extremely friendly and cared deeply that we had a lovely stay-her accommodation is perfectly set up for a gloriously peaceful and elegant stay in the Charente countryside. We had some lovely conversations with Jan who really helped us get to know the surrounding area with great knowledge of where best to go for food and amenities etc. We didn't want for a thing and felt thoroughly spoilt! We highly recommend staying with Jan and enjoying her hospitality in such beautiful surroundings.

The house is really nice, it is large, tastefully furnished and really well équipée.Les pictures are of the general opinion a little understatement We also widely used kitchens !!! And the library.
